How did I become an F1 driver?

The next stop, the Hungarian Grand Prix, starts on August 8, two weeks later.

After the Hungarian Grand Prix, it will be the summer break that all drivers and team staff are looking forward to.

Qin Miao is no exception. Although Qin Miao has at least one day of rest after every Grand Prix weekend, the high-intensity work and long hours of flying around the world also make Qin Miao and everyone in the team feel exhausted. , it’s time to take a short break.

Of course, everyone knows that the last post before the break is the most difficult to stand on.

But for Qin Miao, this will happen in two weeks.

Silent all night.

……

The next day, Qin Miao got up under the reminder of her biological clock. After getting up, Qin Miao subconsciously stretched out her hand to support her waist.

At this time, Qiu Meng was still sleeping deeply, and Qin Miao's movement of getting up had no impact on her at all.

She is physically stronger than Qin Miao. When she got up this morning, she also held her waist. This shows how tired Qiu Meng was yesterday. Qin Miao remembered that this girl seemed to be so tired that she rolled her eyes last night.

After getting up, Qin Miao packed up the clothes scattered around the house, and then looked at the COS suit that she had torn open.

He blinked a little regretfully. The material and feel of the clothes were very good, and Qiu Meng looked good in them, too.

This one is broken, why not buy another one later...

After a brief tidying up, Qin Miao went to the kitchen and made herself a bowl of egg noodles, thus finishing her holiday breakfast.

She worked very late yesterday. According to the past situation, Qiu Meng would basically have to wait until noon to wake up in this state, so Qin Miao did not need to prepare breakfast for this girl.

After eating breakfast, Qin Miao turned on his racing simulator and got a little familiar with the Hungaroring.

This is considered a daily exercise to maintain the feel, so there is nothing surprising.

After running for more than an hour, Qin Miao's only racing-related matter today came to an end.

Then came the game session that Qin Miao loved to see.

After being busy for so long, it’s time to enjoy yourself.

Turning on the computer, the scene of playing with Zhou Guanyu and Leclerc last night was still vivid in his mind, and Qin Miao's inner addiction to playing games was aroused again.

So Qin Miao wasn't going to go fishing today, and was just going to play games at home until he got tired of it.

At the same time, Qin Miao did not forget the car fans who often asked him to live broadcast on his Weibo, so when he turned on the computer, Qin Miao also started the live broadcast.

Because we are still using daylight saving time, the time in China is 7 hours ahead of that in the UK. It is now more than 8 o'clock in Qin Miao, while it is almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon in China.

Although there are not as many people watching the live broadcast during this time period as at night, there are still quite a few.

So Qin Miao has just started broadcasting, and many fans have poured into the live broadcast room to pay attention to Qin Miao.

【Catch you! 】

【Look what I found】

[With tears in his eyes, Qin Miao finally remembered the account and password of his live broadcast room]

[Living Qin Miao! 】

[Yo yo yo, isn’t this the British Grand Prix champion?Finally remember us poor buddies? 】

[Grandpa, the anchor you follow has started broadcasting! 】

[You are finally willing to start broadcasting]

[Do you still know about the broadcast? 】

Seeing the verbal criticism on the barrage, Qin Miao didn't care. After all, he knew that this was not his main business. They were more of a joke.

After opening the live broadcast room and fixing the barrage software, Qin Miao started his CSGO massacre today while chatting with the barrages in his live broadcast room.

The match was made with ease.

Soon a game started. After entering the game, Qin Miao was also recognized by his teammates in the game.

Although Qin Miao is currently playing on a foreign server, the fact that an F1 driver plays CSGO is quite new to CSGO players.

Qin Miao is also one of the most influential people in the paddock. In addition, Qin Miao uses a very recognizable ID such as qinmiao in the game. It is not unacceptable for Qin Miao to be recognized. .

So in the pistol round at the beginning of the game, his teammates gave Qin Miao a P250. What stood out was trust.

Qin Miao also lived up to the shots fired by his teammates. After the game started, four heads were recorded.

For a while in Qin Miao’s live broadcast room:
【hang! 】

[Is the lock unlocked? 】

[It hangs when it is turned on? 】

【Close it, it's boring】

【Iron lock head】

Among them, Qin Miao's source of happiness today was opened.

……

Just as Qin Miao thought before the game started, Qin Miao did nothing else all day on Monday. After opening the live broadcast room, he never closed it and just kept playing CSGO. Later, he even joined four professions. I started massacre mode on the ladder.

Although Qin Miao did not insist on teaming up with a professional brother, Qin Miao is actually more famous than many CSGO professional players. Professional brothers will naturally not refuse the opportunity to play games with Qin Miao.

And it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Qin Miao wants to, he can now buy most of the professional teams in CSGO. He can buy them directly with the players, equipment, and even training bases.

The final result was that Qin Miao played nearly twenty games all day long without losing a single game.

After a little indulgence for a day, Qin Miao returned to his familiar life the next day.

Get up in the morning to train, have breakfast, then do physical training, take a nap at noon, go to the simulator in the afternoon to familiarize yourself with the track, and watch the video that Barber prepared for Qin Miao in advance. Qin Miao's schedule for the day is thus fully arranged.

On Wednesday, Qin Miao reported to the team factory before ten o'clock in the morning. Today is the day when Qin Miao resumes his daily clock-in work routine.

Time passed, and Qin Miao, who was walking on her way to work, regretted her decision to live near the motorcade.

It is indeed much more convenient to go to work if you live nearby, but as a migrant worker, the most taboo thing is actually living too close to the company.Because after Qin Miao gradually became familiar with the paddock, he realized that Hamilton and the others usually did not come to the team. They would only arrange schedules to come to the team when there were special events.

Most of the drivers in the paddock exercise by themselves when they are not racing, and then run on the track to find their rhythm. At other times, they are flying around, catwalking, participating in fashion weeks, making endorsements, and appearing on programs.

As for drivers like Qin Miao, who runs to the team factory every day like a working man, Qin Miao is currently the only one in the entire paddock.

Because of this, any problems encountered by the team in the past were basically researched, debugged and solved by the team's own reserve drivers.

But ever since Qin Miao moved near the motorcade, Qin Miao could basically be called over to handle everything with just a phone call.

Although the same work can be done by reserve drivers, they are reserve drivers after all. They do not have the experience of driving F1 in long-term competitions like other F1 drivers, so the data run by reserve drivers are handed over to Qin Miao and others. It is also necessary to use this set of data to run a few laps on the track during practice sessions to verify the suitability with the driver.

However, when Qin Miao comes to run the data, there will be no such troubles. Qin Miao himself is a strong F1 driver, and his driving style is similar to Hamilton.

The numbers he produced were ready for Hamilton to use, and the adjustments required were only minor tweaks.

If F1 introduces an overtime schedule for drivers this year, Qin Miao will definitely become the first.
Therefore, in order to get rid of the current situation, Qin Miao also began to actively seek changes.

In fact, Qin Miao asked Leclerc on Sunday night to help him find any good housing in Monaco after returning to Monaco.

That's right, Qin Miao is planning to buy a house and settle in Monaco.

Although a house of more than ten square meters in Monaco costs millions of dollars, many people are still flocking to it.

There is no other reason than that if you live in Monaco, you do not have to pay personal income tax.

This is why Monaco is known as a tax haven.

For example, Qin Miao, who settled in the UK, received an endorsement contract. The price paid to Qin Miao by the partner was 200 million euros for a year's endorsement.

Under normal circumstances for this 200 million euro endorsement contract, Qin Miao needs to pay 45% personal income tax to the UK. This means that after Qin Miao's contract is finalized, he will have to pay 90 euros in tax to the British government.

But if Qin Miao settles in Monaco, no matter whether the amount of his endorsement contract is large or small, Qin Miao can put all the money into his own pocket without losing a penny.

Of course, Qin Miao is not an ordinary person after all, and it is not difficult to settle in Monaco.

Monaco’s settlement policy is not difficult for wealthy people. If you want to settle in Monaco, you must first own a property in Monaco and have a local bank deposit of more than 60 euros.

These requirements are naturally not a problem for Qin Miao.

After arriving at the team factory, Qin Miao made an unexpected discovery, because Toto was also here today.

Toto is the boss, and his usual working hours are basically the same as Hamilton's.

It comes most days during the working day, but the main thing is arriving late and leaving early.

Basically come and take a look and then leave.

But Qin Miao didn't pay much attention at first. Maybe Toto just had something to deal with, so he came over first.

After coming to his office and putting down the things he brought, Qin Miao was going to go to the factory downstairs to take a look at his car and the installation of new parts.

Mercedes was upgraded during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After seeing the installation of the upgraded components, Qin Miao was ready to go to the simulator department to run data.

But just as he put away his things and came out of his office, Toto waved to Qin Miao from Toto's office on the other side.

"Qin Miao, come to my place."

Qin Miao nodded when he saw this.

He said that Toto couldn't come so early in normal times. Why did the accident happen today? His feelings came to him.

He entered Toto's office with ease and sat down on the chair in front of Toto.

Toto's office is the largest of the Mercedes F1 team, followed by Qin Miao, Hamilton and Alisson's offices.

The office has also been specially decorated according to everyone's preferences. Everyone has a decoration fund when they join the company, but Qin Miao has never done it.

The main reason is that it is troublesome, and if you renovate it, you will have to use other people's offices for a long time, which is a bit inconvenient.

After sitting down, Qin Miao asked curiously: "Toto, what do you want from me? Or are there any activities that I need to attend?"

Toto didn't rush to get straight to the point. He first made Qin Miao a cup of black coffee, and then talked about other things: "You know, Qin Miao, when we signed you, we didn't make a decision in a flash. There were many considerations at the time.

I value your future, and Daimler Group values ​​the Chinese market behind you.

But we didn't expect that you would surprise us from an angle that no one thought of. "

As he spoke, Toto turned around and looked at a big screen in his office. What was on the screen was the current team and driver standings.

Qin Miao overtook his seven-time champion teammate Hamilton in the standings, occupying the first place with an advantage of 8 points more than his teammate.

This should be Toto's so-called surprise.

Although what Toto said was true, the modesty in the bones of the Chinese people still made Qin Miao subconsciously say: "Hamilton is a seven-time champion after all. I am only eight points more than him by chance. This season. Very long. I believe with Hamilton’s strength, it is only a matter of time before he overtakes me in the overall standings.

Toto smiled. He also didn't think Qin Miao could stay in his current position for too long. Qin Miao was indeed very strong, but after running for so long this season, Mercedes also gained enough data, and from these It is not difficult to judge from the data that Qin Miao is not as fast as Hamilton. Plus what I plan to talk to Qin Miao today...

In short, Mercedes will do its best to ensure that Hamilton wins the driver's championship this year and achieves his eighth crown no matter what.

Of course, Xianggui thought so, but it was impossible for Toto to directly tell the truth in his heart in front of Qin Miao.

So Toto said with a smile: "What you should do now is actually focus on improving your own strength. After all, you are only 19 years old and you still have a long time."

Qin Miao, whose face was full of attentiveness, nodded slightly after hearing Toto's words.

"I know, and I have been working hard to improve my own strength."

The conversation started smoothly at this point, and then Toto said: "There is one more thing about Hamilton."

Qin Miao nodded as if listening, showing no unnecessary emotions and no intention of speaking.

Toto paused for a moment, and then said: "This season is very important for the team. Although the Mercedes team has been relatively successful in recent years, there are always one or two teams in every era that can temporarily dominate the paddock. Because It happens in every era, so it is not unusual for a strong team to appear. It can even be said that it is normal for a strong team to appear.

So if we want to leave our mark in the history of F1, we need to break some records that sound very difficult, or accomplish something that has never been done before or since.

And in this process, the fewer surprises, the better. "(End of chapter)
